Etsy shop critique - Shauneys Designs

Etsy shop ciritique for Shauneys Designs

I think you have a very nice shop with unique items. I like the nursing necklaces and also the Bookmarks.

But you don't sell them well. You have nice pictures, but they are to zoomed/croped and buyer doesn't get a perspective about the size. Utilize all 5 spots for picture available. Show the nursing necklace on a model/mom with a baby in her arm (if possible) and try to use other backgrounds,  experiment. And the bookmarks I want to see a picture how they look in an open book. And btw. I like this photo:


Your banner.... hm   Now I am thinking if I like it or not. I guess yes :o) it's ok. I like the color and the graphic. But I would change your avatar. It should show one of your products. E.g. I like this one


this is a great picture and will make a great avatar. You'll get noticed in the forums etc.....

Also do you have Facebook or Blog? Mention it in your profile.
Comunicate with potential buyers, do give aways, blog about your products.
How do you sell your products? Did you try to offer the nursing necklaces to a local shop with baby stuff? How about moms clubs etc... You said you had a hard time to find a necklace for yourself, so you started to make them. This is a niche market - so promote to moms like you....

Good luck with your shop!
And keep us posted, if you make any changes.

  1. Hi Martina,

    I wanted to thank you for your honest critique of my shop. You made some really good points and I am taking some of your advice. I have already changed my avatar to showcase the brooch bracelet and am working on adding more photos to my listings to give some size perspective. It will take me a while to do this because I don't have much time during the day to take photos but I will be working on it every chance I get.

    Thank you again for all of your help.
